Lord Coe was 14 when he gave his first interview. "It's an awful thought," he grins, pretending to shudder, "but I've probably been interviewed on a regular basis for 42 years." Communication has become, he says, the single most important part of his job. "It's about being able to create a vision and talk about it. The biggest fragility in a project is often just the inability to be able to explain to people why you are doing it, and when you're going to do it, and what's going to happen." He's right, of course, and as the London Olympics were such a hit, you would think that he must be a brilliant communicator. I did – until I picked up his autobiography.
Seldom can a memoir have revealed less about its author – or less of what anyone might actually want to know, anyway. If the interminable minutiae of obscure athletics meetings is your thing, then, to be fair, Running My Life may be for you. But if you are curious to know what Sebastian Coe was like as a child, what athletics meant to him, how he felt about his arch rival Steve Ovett, why he went into politics, or what it felt like to be in charge of the Olympics, it will leave you none the wiser. The pages are bleached of all emotional meaning, and how the author got through them all without boring himself to death is a mystery. Like me, you might conclude that he has to be much more illuminating in person. If so, you would be wrong.
Coe is perfectly pleasant – affable, polite, professional – and gives no indication of deliberately trying to say nothing. On the contrary, he digests each question with quiet relish, before launching into probably the longest answers I have ever come across. More than once, I catch myself starting to nod off, and have a panicky moment trying to work out what I have missed, but he is too busy droning on to notice. It is like a rare form of conversational colour-blindness. Offered a choice between saying something diverting or something dreary, Coe plumps unerringly for the latter, at great length. It is as if he were set on trying to filibuster his own interview.
The odd thing is that, having had not one but three incredible careers, Coe ought to be riveting. In 1979, the young middle-distance runner broke three world records in just 41 days, becoming the poster boy of British athletics in the 80s, electrifying the Moscow and LA Olympics with his rivalry with Ovett. After retiring from athletics at 34, Coe was immediately selected to stand as a Tory MP, serving one parliamentary term, latterly as a whip, before losing his seat in 1997, only to be appointed William Hague's chief of staff. Hague's 2001 defeat brought Coe's party political career to a close, but within months he was working for the Labour government, advising on London's Olympic bid. The bid still wasn't looking too promising in 2004, when Coe became Locog's chairman. Eight years on, he is a national hero, rightly feted for a historic triumph that took the whole world by surprise. By anyone's standards, his achievements are astonishing.
"I always remember the 10th of September being the first morning, virtually in a decade, I woke up without thinking of winning a bid or delivering a game. Crucially, I'm not waking up each morning thinking: 'Oh my God, I've got security transports, licence agreements, the work over what the customer experience is going to be like, whether the coffee is going to be any good in the Olympic village' – you're not in that mindset. It is very similar to finishing a four-year competitive cycle."
When Coe used to compete, he was too absorbed in winning races to have any idea what the Games meant beyond the stadium.
"It's only when you get home and back into the sort of normal day-to-day stuff, that people stop you in the street and say: 'Wasn't that unbelievable?' I'm in that sort of phase now where I'm only really beginning to understand what the Games meant for people who come up to me – and it happens a lot, a lot. People do come up and they just say, 'It was extraordinary' and 'Thank you to your teams.' A guy this morning – a guy in a taxi – he said: 'I went to the Games. We got four tickets in the men's 100 metres. We were really lucky.' But then he said: 'Do you know something? If I'm being honest, I preferred the Paralympic dressage.'
"These are the conversations I've had and they're lovely conversations and they just help paint a bit more of a picture, because at Games time you're thinking about nothing other than the next challenge, the next message about a team that didn't quite feel that the carrots were cooked properly in the Olympic village. So the past few weeks has been a sort of – I suppose it's the right word, really – it's been a sort of recollection by osmosis. People are painting the picture that you didn't really see at the Games, and it's exactly the same as being a competitor."
Coe is still working full-time on the Olympics, overseeing legacy projects. I ask if we will ever know if the Games' economic legacy repaid their astronomical cost, but Coe doesn't measure success in terms of balance sheets.
"I'm a great believer in big events attracting big names and role models, and I think young people tend to take up sport because of what they witness at that level, rather than nationally endorsed projects saying: 'Unless you all start running three times a week you're going to drop dead with a heart attack at the age of 40.' I don't think those work. I will go to my grave believing that participation is best driven by the well-stocked shop window. I got involved with this project 10 years ago because I could not see a better opportunity in my lifetime for creating a step change in the way sport is delivered, in the way young people see sport, and in the way people could engage with the disability agenda."
Coe has been politically active since his time at Loughborough University, where he joined the Young Conservatives, but I'm still not clear about his ideological motivation. What exactly does he believe in? He looks a little surprised. "I think I'm probably just an old-fashioned Tory. I don't wake up each morning trying to figure out what kind of Conservative I am; for me it's quite instinctive. I actually don't believe in big government and half the time I'm never quite sure I believe in government, generally."
But without government, I say, we wouldn't have had the Olympics.
"No, that is true. That is true."
By now you may well be thinking he doesn't sound all that dull. But these few nuggets are as good as it gets. To demonstrate just what a crashing bore he is, I would have to quote all the acres of tedium from which they were salvaged, running the risk of sending every reader to sleep. We owe Coe a national debt of gratitude for pulling off an Olympic games beyond our wildest dreams, but how he did it I do not know, because his leadership qualities are difficult to spot. Clearly they've got to be hiding in there somewhere, or London 2012 would not have happened – so instead I try reading between the lines, see if I can work out what he's like from all the things he neglects to mention.
Coe was born in 1956, one of four children. His mother was a glamorous half-Indian actor, and his father was a highly intelligent working-class engineer. His father's work took the family all over the country until eventually they settled in Sheffield, where Coe's athletic promise quickly began to define his adolescence. Applying the principles of engineering to the new discipline of athletics, Coe's father became his coach, mentor, psychologist and nutritionist – the dominant force in his son's life.
He is certainly the dominant presence in the autobiography, and the author has nothing but praise for his father's dedication. At one point his father even got hold of eastern European training manuals and had them translated so he could work out exactly what his son was up against.
"He was ferociously clever," Coe recalls proudly. "I mean ferociously clever. He could cut through the flab of an argument and, in training terms, he spent five or six years doing nothing else, other than understanding the nature of what it would take to get me to run two laps quicker than anyone else." But what was he like? "Very much warmer than people thought."
Coe has a maddening habit of alluding to criticisms or conflicts without ever addressing them. As the book goes on, it becomes apparent that most of the athletics world, and much of the media, regarded his father as a bit of a tyrant – a loner, arrogant and over-controlling. But we never find out why, nor does Coe ever explain why they had got him wrong.
Coe's mother barely gets a mention, though there is a revealing line about watching her cheer him from the stands. "Watching her son break a world record might go some way, I hoped, to make up for all she'd put up with along the way." What did he mean?
"Well, she was a remarkable woman, and the great thing she did, at key moments, she did gently remind me that there is a little bit more to running two laps quicker than the next person. She was always a balancing influence, and without wanting it to sound too managerial, the management of a family around one of her children not being able to eat until nine o'clock most nights, travelling all the time – well, of course, it's a fairly selfish existence, so making sure my brother and sisters didn't feel neglected." They get even less of a look-in than his mum, so I ask if there was sibling resentment. "Er, if you're being honest, probably. I think it's human nature."
What about Ovett? "Right," Coe says, stiffening slightly. "The truth is that I didn't really know him. But I like him. He's a really good guy." Yet Coe writes: "Steve was playing up to his role of bad-boy in the devil-may-care way he finished his races, waving to the crowd or running across the track, adding unnecessary seconds to his time but endearing himself to the general public, who always love a maverick and slightly despise the boy with the clean handkerchief." He writes of beating Ovett in 1989: "While I was being interviewed on air about exactly what had happened, Steve was trackside in emotional turmoil, saying: 'They got me here on false pretences and lied to a lot of other people.' Upstaged to the end." In each passage, it's the barbed payoff line that says a lot about Coe's true opinion of his charismatic rival's popularity.
It is clear from the book that Coe thinks of himself as decent, unassuming, straightforward and hard-working – an old-fashioned gentleman to whom good manners matter more than gold medals. He volunteers little evidence to the contrary. Nevertheless, every now and then, rather reluctantly, he will mention odd things so incompatible with his self-image that you wonder how reliable it really is.
For example, when Coe confounded sports reporters' doubts by winning in LA in 1984, he turned to the press box, shook his fist and screamed: "Who says I'm finished now?" Where did that come from? He had never mentioned any fury towards the press. Likewise, he tells us about falling in love with Nicky McIrvine, an equestrian eventer, getting married and having four children together. Later, he explains their subsequent divorce as a casualty of Westminster's impossible working hours. Only much later, and almost by the bye, does he mention his extra-marital affair. Even then he makes it sound pretty unimportant, when in fact it went on for a decade. He doesn't even mention his mother's death except as a belated afterthought.
At various points in the book, he alludes to a widespread impression of Coe as arrogant, aloof and rather unlovable – the Steve Davis of athletics. The public loved to see him win, but were less keen to fell in love with him, and I think I detect a faintly aggrieved sense that the world was never really on his side.
"No ... I don't think ..." Coe hesitates and stutters. "I think if you are quite single-minded about what you are doing ..." Suddenly, he sounds defensive. "Look, throughout my career I was always a member of an athletics club. I always trained and competed for an athletics club, even as a double-Olympic champion. I think it's probably – I think there are … Not that I think it, being honest, not that it really bothers me. But I do think that people that are really focused probably give out those vibes when they're not meaning to be aloof, but that it's just what they do. When I was in a racing situation, it was the most important thing in my life. You train for 10 years, you run thousands of miles, you do take it quite seriously."
The talk in political circles is now about Coe succeeding Boris Johnson as the next Tory candidate for mayor of London. He would be uniquely well qualified, of course – but is he someone the capital could fall in love with? Like his father, he seems to have taken the principles of one discipline and applied them to another, and what he did with London 2012 was astonishing. But it doesn't necessarily make him very endearing.
At moments I wonder whether Coe himself might be finding his new national treasure identity a bit uncomfortable. It is certainly unfamiliar. On the track, the people's champion was always Ovett, never Coe; in politics, he represented his party through its darkest ever decade. And up until late July, popular attitudes towards the Olympics tended to range from ridicule to resentment. Now, all of a sudden, everyone loves him. So what will he do next?
He will certainly be rich, having just sold his management company for £12m. He remarried last year, to Carole Annett, a journalist with House & Garden. Last week he was elected chair of the British Olympic Association, and he has hinted at one day becoming head of the International Association of Athletics Federations. But when I ask if he would make a good mayor of London, he is unequivocal.
"I don't want to be mayor." What a relief. Is he quite sure?
"I can tell you, that is the one exclusive you can write. I have no interest at all." Really?

Jim Bottomley Biographical Information
As a first baseman for the St. Louis Cardinals (1922-1932), Cincinnati Reds (1933-1935) and St. Louis Browns (1936-1937), Bottomley was noted for his upbeat demeanor and ability to drive in runs. He had over 100 RBIs in each season from 1924 to 1929.
Bottomley's best season came in 1928, when he hit .325 with 31 home runs and 136 RBIs. That year, he won the National League Most Valuable Player award and led the Cardinals to the World Series, where they lost to the New York Yankees.
He set the Major League record for RBIs in a single game, with 12, set on September 16, 1924 and holds the single-season record for most unassisted double plays by a first baseman, with eight. "Sunny" will also be known as the only man to be sued for hitting a homerun when a fan was hit by the ball when he wasn't looking.
After his career ended, Bottomley moved to near Bourbon, Missouri, where he raised hereford cattle. He spent the last years of his life in nearby Sullivan, Missouri, where he and his wife were eventually laid to rest in the I.O.O.F.. Cemetery.
"Sunny Jim" Bottomley was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame posthumously, in 1974.

Then you might have to do that. I don't know how to access AIM logs.The "nere" is much easier to affix than "rop". And "Str" is easier to append to than "Cen". I mean, "Cenop" or "Centrop" just doesn't have the same ring to it, right?Similarly, "Cenia" sounds identical to "Cenere", and "Cenphia" is a mouthful, whereas "Zophere" takes a distinct form. Now, if we lived in the Dragonball universe, none of this would matter, because in the event of fusion all we'd be looking for was how stupid the name sounded. "Gotenks"? "Gogeta"? "Vegetto"?

Strenere is what it is. Strenere is the real deal. Strenere is value-pack. Strenere is the combination of the indistinguishable two blank moderators. It's not just a fusion.

14.05.07 - Modern day gladiator Spartacus has promised to open the seni07 Combat Sports Show being staged at ExCeL London in Docklands this weekend in style. The 30-year-old from Ipswich meets Portsmouths Tony Oakey this Friday for the vacant British Light Heavyweight Championship on the Hennessy Sports SENI:BOX promotion, the launch event of the three-day showcase of Combat Sports, Martial Arts and Extreme Fitness. The pair headline the Sky Sports covered bill that will take place in the 3500-seater purpose built TOE 2 TOE tiered arena. The undercard will feature a raft of local talent, including Lenny Daws, Peter Haymer, Matthew Thirlwall, David Walker, Dave Stewart, George Hillyard and Mickey Steeds. Spartacus is a born entertainer. After an interesting experience several years ago he took on the name of the famous Gladiator-Slave, played by Kirk Douglas in a sixties blockbuster, and has lived up to the moniker ever since, even in the rare defeats he has suffered. I went to a medium in Norfolk when I was about to turn professional and she told me I was a successful ancient warrior in a past life, he explained. I had to change my name at the time because there were four Steve Smiths boxing in Britain back then. Spartacus fitted the bill perfectly. It has got me some attention and is a bit of a laugh I was a guest on They Think Its All Over - but the ring walks do help to create a bit of drama, particularly on a big night like Friday. Throughout his 18-3 (10) professional career the Tony Sims trained fighter has donned full battle regalia for his march to the ring. Friday will be no exception. Were really going to push the boat out for this one, added Spartacus, who was also an English champion in a past life. I always wear the complete outfit and next Friday will be the same, but as I have got my dream of challenging for the British Title Im going to make this one a bit special. Itll be worth waiting for. Im trying to get my team in the gear as well so they can walk out with me, but my trainer Tony Sims is dragging his heels a bit at the moment. Ill work on him though; Ill make sure he knows that he will never hear the last of it if he doesnt come through. It gets a brilliant atmosphere started, especially when the music kicks. My lot are a noisy bunch anyway, but this really helps get them going which is a big lift to me. Other events taking place over the weekend in the TOE 2 TOE Arena include an ABA Amateur Boxing Challenge, an Octagon Girl competition and Pain and Glory, which brings several top international fighters together across a mix of disciplines. Tournaments, however, are just one component of seni07. A 12,000 square metre adjacent exhibition area will house a cutting edge expo dedicated to the fighting arts throughout the Saturday and Sunday. As the industry's annual acknowledged meeting place, seni gives you the opportunity to discover the people behind the latest products, try goods before you buy, and witness the hundreds of displays and demonstrations by exhibitors across five themed show zones: Classical Warrior, Fightsport, Survival, Tournament and Olympic Youth. Tickets for SENI:BOX, priced £30, £40 and £75 are available on 0870 060 1795. For the latest bill please visit www.HennessySports.com. For more information on seni07 please visit www.seni.tv.

Three N. Korean doctors slain in north-eastern Nigeria
KANO, Nigeria (AFP) - Men armed with knives slit the throats of three North Korean doctors in a pre-dawn attack on Sunday in a volatile town in northeastern Nigeria in the latest in a spate of such killings in recent months, police said.
The attack in Potiskum also came just two days after gunmen killed at least 10 people in horrifying attacks on two Nigerian polio clinics in a new blow to the campaign to wipe out the disease, but it was not clear if the incidents were related.
Yobe State police commissioner Sanusi Rufa'i would not say if the Islamist group Boko Haram, which has been active in Potiskum, was responsible for Sunday's killings, but that the attack was being investigated.
He said unknown attackers scaled the fence of an apartment housing the three doctors at around 1am and slit their throats, initially describing the victims as Chinese, then as South Koreans, before finally saying they were from North Korea. "The three men were from North Korea and not South Korea," Yobe state police commissioner Sanusi Rufa'i told AFP. "They were doctors working in Potiskum on behalf of the state government."

How John Roberts Orchestrated Citizens UnitedQuicklink submitted by Amanda Lang Permalink,
Become a Fan
(9 fans) |
In one sense, the story of the Citizens United case goes back more than a hundred years. It begins in the Gilded Age, when the Supreme Court barred most attempts by the government to ameliorate the harsh effects of market forces. In that era, the Court said, for the first time, that corporations, like people, have constitutional rights. The Progressive Era, which followed, saw the development of activist government and the first major efforts to limit the impact of money in politics. Since then, the sides in the continuing battle have remained more or less the same: progressives (or liberals) vs. conservatives, Democrats vs. Republicans, regulators vs. libertarians. One side has favored government rules to limit the influence of the moneyed in political campaigns; the other has supported a freer market, allowing individuals and corporations to contribute as they see fit... |

Landing flight director hopeful about weather BY WILLIAM HARWOOD STORY WRITTEN FOR CBS NEWS "SPACE PLACE" & USED WITH PERMISSION Posted: July 30, 2009 Optimistic the weather will cooperate for a morning landing, entry Flight Director Bryan Lunney said Thursday NASA will only staff the Kennedy Space Center for back-to-back landing opportunities Friday in hopes of bringing the shuttle Endeavour back to Florida.
"We're only going to try KSC tomorrow," Lunney said. "If for whatever reason, the weather or some such thing we don't get there, on Saturday that's what we'll call 'pick 'em' day and we'll be coming home Saturday to whichever site is available from a weather perspective." Overnight, engineers assessed laser scans from a post-undocking inspection of the shuttle's reinforced carbon carbon nose cap and wing leading edge panels, which experience the most extreme heating during re-entry. No problems were found and mission managers cleared the shuttle's heat shield for entry as planned. Commander Mark Polansky, pilot Douglas Hurley, Canadian flight engineer Julie Payette, David Wolf, Christopher Cassidy, Thomas Marshburn and returning space station flight engineer Koichi Wakata plan to close the shuttle's cargo bay doors around 7 a.m. EDT Friday to set the stage for landing. Assuming the weather cooperates, Polansky and Hurley will fire Endeavour's twin braking rockets for three minutes and four seconds starting at 9:42:02 a.m., slowing the ship by 218 mph to drop out of orbit. The shuttle will hit the discernible atmosphere at an altitude of 76 miles at 10:16 a.m., gliding the remaining 5,000 miles to the Kennedy Space Center. Flying almost due north over Central America and Cuba, Endeavour's flight path will carry the ship across southern Florida before a sweeping left turn to line up on runway 15. Touchdown is targeted for 10:48:20 a.m. A second deorbit opportunity is available one orbit later, at 11:16:55 a.m., setting up a landing at 12:22:42 p.m. Multiple landing opportunities are available Saturday, starting at 11:08 a.m. at Kennedy and ending at 3:48 p.m. EDT at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif.
"Our landing, of course, is before noon," he said. "They were thinking between one o'clock, two o'clock out there it would start raining, or a good chance of starting to rain. The proof, of course, will come tomorrow. ... Right now, it's Florida, it's summer, so there's always, in my mind, kind of a chance of rain there. "But in the morning, we'll have a much better sense of how that particular day is going to play out for us. Right now, the models, the predicts and looking at what's happened today, things are looking really good for us." The Spaceflight Meteorology Group at the Johnson Space Center in Houston is predicting a few clouds at 3,000 feet, scattered clouds at 8,000 feet, a broken deck at 25,000 feet, light winds out of the south-southeast and a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms within 30 nautical miles of the runway. The chance for rain increases for the second opportunity one orbit later.

By JESSE HARLAN ALDERMAN, Associated Press Writer Thu Mar 22, 2:39 PM ET
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Sometime between the founding of a student-run porn magazine and the day the campus health center advertised "Free Lube," Harvard University seniors Sarah Kinsella and Justin Murray decided to fight back against what they see as too much mindless sex at the Ivy League school.
They founded a student group called True Love Revolution to promote abstinence on campus. The group, created earlier this school year, has more than 90 members on its Facebook.com page and drew about half that many to an ice cream social.
Harvard treats sex — or "hooking up" — so casually that "sometimes I wonder if sex is even a remotely serious thing," said Kinsella, who is dating Murray.
Other schools around the country have small groups devoted to abstinence. On most campuses, they are religious organizations. Princeton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have Anscombe Societies, secular organizations named after an English philosopher and Roman Catholic. True Love Revolution is secular as well.
Some feminists, in particular, have criticized True Love Revolution's message.
Harvard student Rebecca Singh said she was offended by a valentine the group sent to the dormitory mailboxes of all freshmen. It read: "Why wait? Because you're worth it."
"I think they thought that we might not be `ruined' yet," Singh said. "It's a symptom of that culture we have that values a woman on her purity. It's a relic."
Others on campus have mocked the group. Murray said his friends take pleasure in loudly, and graphically, discussing their sex lives just to taunt him.
"On campus there is such a strong attitude of pluralism and acceptance, but then it doesn't extend to this," Kinsella said.
In the student paper, The Harvard Crimson, columnist Jessica C. Coggins praised the group's low-key approach and scolded Harvard students for their "laughter at the virgin." She said students on the campus, which has 6,700 undergraduates, should "find a different confidence booster than making fun of celibate peers."
True Love Revolution members say the problem starts with the university. They say Harvard has implicitly led students to believe that having sex at college is a foregone conclusion by requiring incoming freshman to attend a seminar on date-rape that does not mention abstinence, by placing condoms in freshmen dorms, and by hosting racy lecturers. (Harvard students have also launched H-Bomb, a magazine featuring racy photos of undergraduates.)
"Sometimes that voice on campus is so overwhelming that students committed to abstinence almost feel compelled to abandon their convictions," Murray said. He acknowledged he "slipped up" and had sex earlier in college but said he has returned to abstinence with Kinsella.
Dr. David Rosenthal, director of Harvard health services, disputed the notion that the university promotes sex.
He said students mistakenly think everyone on campus is having sex. The National College Health Assessment Survey, which included Harvard and hundreds of other campuses, found that about 29 percent of students reported not having sex in the past school year. For the 71 percent who are having sex, it is crucial to promote safety, Rosenthal said.
"Some students may have a feeling that acknowledgment is condoning," he said, "and it's not."
It takes a lot of guts for these college kids to do this--I applaud them. What I find the most amusing is Rebecca the young feminist. The article says:
Harvard student Rebecca Singh said she was offended by a valentine the group sent to the dormitory mailboxes of all freshmen. It read: "Why wait? Because you're worth it."
"I think they thought that we might not be `ruined' yet," Singh said. "It's a symptom of that culture we have that values a woman on her purity. It's a relic."
"That culture we have that values a woman on her purity." What culture is she talking about!?

The Craftsman locking flex ratching combination is the perfect solution for nuts andb bolts in hard to get at places with limited room to turn the wrench. The flex end makes it much more versitile than rigid style ratching combination wrenches.

Random Acts of Culture™ to feature the Detroit Children's Choir on August 10th
By Jim Troeger
On Friday August 10, more than 130 singers and musicians, including children from The Detroit Children's Choir, under the direction of Carol Schoch, will sing "Ode to Joy" during a short 8-minute lunchtime performance in the lobby of the Compuware World Headquarters in downtown Detroit. This celebratory performance helps mark 1,000th performance of the Knight Foundation's Random Acts of Culture program.
After nearly two years of bringing surprise cultural performances to unsuspecting bystanders in 8 cities across the United States, the Knight Foundation's Random Acts of Culture is closing in on its goal of completing 1,000 such performances. Similar to a "flash mob" of sorts, Random Acts of Culture brings classical performers such as opera singers, instrumentalists and choirs into people's everyday lives in such unassuming places as airports, department stores, farmer's markets and trains!
With Detroit among the final 3 stops of Random Acts of Culture's march to its 1,000th and final performance, the Knight Foundation has broken from traditional form by providing advance notice of this event. For those who live and work in the revitalized downtown center, this is a unique opportunity not to be missed. Here are the specifics:
Random Acts of Culture performance featuring The Detroit Children's Choir
Friday, August 10, 2012
12:00 p.m. – 12:08 p.m.
Compuware World Headquarters lobby
One Campus Martius
Detroit, MI 48226
Knight Foundation supports transformational ideas that promote quality journalism, advance media innovation, engage communities and foster the arts.

Getting the (South) Bends
After a big initial splash with a line of '50s American iron, and the inevitable musclecar follow-up, M2 has been silent with new castings lately. Only a '57 Chrysler 300C has surfaced as a new casting in the last year or so – in both the Driver's 101 ($3 pricepoint, no opening features, occasionally non-stock paint and wheels) and standard Autothentics ($5 pricepoint, opening doors and hood, correct paint and wheels). It would have been easy for a casual diecast buyer to wonder what the company was doing and if it would live.
But it turns out that this was just the quiet before the storm. With M2′s recent announcement that a line of Studebaker model cars and trucks will be forthcoming, they manage to stay true to what got them attention in the first place (that is, making quality models of some of the less-obvious candidates from the collector-car world) while expanding their outlook at the same time (branching out into the world of commercial trucks, with their endless paint variations and logo splashes on the doors). It also opens up the market for M2 to make some cool promotional vehicles.
Studebaker enjoys a strong following – the Studebaker Driver's Club remains one of the largest single-marque car clubs out there – which surely plays into some of the decision making. The 2R family of trucks seen here show off the diversity of the tooling – both a civilian pickup and a much-cried-out-for vintage tow rig will be part of the model mix when it comes out. There is no confirmation, but we suspect that the release won't be ALL trucks – it'll be cars and trucks across the decades of the Studebaker model spectrum. No news on whether these will be only high-detail AutoThentics or cheaper price-point Driver's 101 series versions as well, but considering how few decent small-scale Studebaker models are out there, who cares?
We suspect you'll be able to buy these in big-box retailers, but since we found out this information from our pals at 1stopdiecast, we'll give them the plug.

Could you keep me posted on this? I have 3 "big" studebakers (including a 1953 1/2 Ton 2R6 P-U) and numerous Studebaker diecasts, promotional etc. I would love to add the above to my collection.

Water for bioenergy: A global analysis
Gerbens-Leenes, P.W. and Hoekstra, A.Y. and Meer, T.H. van der (2012) Water for bioenergy: A global analysis. In: Socioeconomic and environmental impacts of biofuels: Evidence from developing nations. Cambridge University Press, New York, 69 - 89. ISBN 9781107009356
Full text not available from this repository. The author is invited to upload the full text of this publication.
Abstract: | Agriculture is by far the largest water user. This chapter reviews studies on the water footprints (WFs) of bioenergy (in the form of bioethanol, biodiesel, and heat and electricity produced from biomass) and compares their results with the WFs of fossil energy and other types of renewables (wind power, solar thermal energy, and hydropower). WFs for bioenergy vary, depending on crop type applied, production location, and agricultural practice. The most water-efficient way to generate bioenergy is to use biomass for heat generation, with electricity generation being the second best option. Biofuel production requires roughly twice as much water as bioelectricity. Regarding biofuels, bioethanol has smaller WFs than biodiesel. For example, the WF of rapeseed biodiesel is four times larger than the WF of sugarcane ethanol and seven times larger than the WF of sugar beet ethanol. Global weighted ethanol WFs increase in the order of sugar beet, potato, sugarcane, maize, cassava, barley, rye, paddy rice, wheat, and sorghum and range between 60 and 400 m3/GJ. For sugar beet, maize, and sugarcane, differences between regions are large. The European Union, northern Africa, and the United States have relatively small WFs for ethanol from sugar beet and maize, while eastern Europe has large WFs. Global weighted average biodiesel WFs increase in the following order: palm oil (95 m3/GJ), soybean and rapeseed (400 m3/GJ), and jatropha (570 m3/GJ). Conversely, the WFs of fossil fuels are relatively small. Finally, the WF of hydropower varies widely between 0.5 and 850 m3/GJ. Our results provide new insight into the impacts of bioenergy on the use and pollution of freshwater. This knowledge is a valuable contribution to future research and for policies concerning energy needs, freshwater availability, and the choice whether to allocate water to food or energy production |

Not able to take screenshots on iPhone 4!
I went to take a screenshot using my iPhone 4 and....it won't! I called Apple's technical support and they are stumped. We restarted the phone, reset the settings, and...nothing. Still won't take screenshots.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did it get resolved? I just did a warranty replacement on my iPhone 4 because the home button on my last phoen didn't work right (was told it was a common problem). I REALLY don't want to do another warranty replacement and would love to save a trip to the iPhone store.
Please help! -
Try restoring the software. If that doesnt fix it, then its a hardware issue.
Start with the basic question...what method are you trying to take screen shots?
Are you jailbroken?
Do the home button and power/sleep button work on their own individually?
...honestly, if you've gone through all the basic steps to make sure that A.) You yourself are doing it properly, and B.) The buttons work fine outside of this functionality...then why wouldn't you want to do a warranty trade in? My *** would be in the Apple store tomorrow asking for another new phone, and i would continue doing so until the one i had worked properly."Speed has never killed anyone; suddenly becoming stationary...that's what gets you." - Jeremy Clarkson - 08-19-2011, 08:12 AM Thread Author #4
I am using the correct method - hold down both the home button and on/off button simultaneously (and quickly). I've had many iPhones, and taken screenshots many times. The screen doesn't flash.
[/QUOTE]Are you jailbroken?[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Do the home button and power/sleep button work on their own individually?[/QUOTE]
Yes, both buttons work fine individually. No issues with the camera and the home button works perfectly (I had to recently do a warranty replacement because the home button on my original iphone 4 never worked right).

My *** would be in the Apple store tomorrow asking for another new phone, and i would continue doing so until the one i had worked properly.[/QUOTE]
The last time I did a warranty replacement (about a month ago) it took a week to get all my stuff working right on my Iphone again. Even when you sync the phone before replacing, it just doesn't all magically get set up properly. Passwords have to be recalled and re-entered. It was a pain in the ****. Also, I have an app installed on my phone for checking work email and if I do a warranty replacement, I have to get another confirmation code from my ISTS department at work, which will take a bit of effort. I can't do without that app at the moment, so I'm almost willing to live without the screenshot feature.
So annoying. - 08-19-2011, 10:37 AM #5
I had this issue too, but all I did was do a restore and it went back to working. Not sure if that helps?

Yep, I think that's what I'm going to have to do. Just so worried about losing info on my phone and screwing things up. When I did the warranty replacement on my phone it took almost a week to get things back to how I like them. Argh. Guess a restore is my only option....
Still under warranty?

Yep, still under warranty! I know I can get it replaced. Just didn't want to deal with the hassle.
Re: Not able to take screenshots on iPhone 4!
I just had this problem, searched, and found this thread. Iphone 5 version 6.0.1
I also just fixed the issue by removing several apps. I'm not sure which one did it, but if you have one or more of the same apps, I'd give it a shot. My guess is it's something to do with a security "feature" in an app.
Priority Club (for ICH Hotels)
Hilton Hotels
Fidelity Health
Fidelity Financial
Jetpack Joyride
Ringtones 500,000
95.5 WPLJ (buggy piece of crap that just might have caused this)
My thought was to remove both latest apps and apps that have a "secure" login. So using that thought process, you might want to try the same thing.
If I get time, I'll go through and reinstall one by one to see if I can reproduce the problem. ........but don't hold your breath. Really busy. -

Beyoncé Covered In Sparkly Body Glitter On New Flaunt Magazine Cover
Five photos of B, tribal Queen of all the cosmos, naked but for those well-placed sparkles and some African jewelry.
1. This is the cover of Flaunt's new issue. And yes, Beyoncé is certainly flaunting.
3. How long would it take to rinse all this body glitter off in the shower afterwards?
A better question: why would you ever want to wash it off?
4. The Flaunt shoot also features Beyoncé in some African tribal jewelry.
5. And darkened skin.
This isn't the first time B's "voluntarily darkened" her skin tone for a fashion editorial either.
7. See more photos over at flaunt.com, where there's also a bizarre and very entertaining Q&A interview. For example:

Jay Peak VT
My buddies and I are planning a trip to Jay Peak next season. If anyone has been there any advice would be welcomed. First we are thinking about going in February. We are in contact with a person about renting an on-site lodge otherwise we are looking at private house rentals off-site. Really I am just looking for any info you can provide that might help me with this trip and maybe save some money. I have only been to Stratton and I am not familiar with this area. Thanks all

fyi..there is a meet event planned for Jay in late February. The history for the last couple events has been wiped, but there is some info and links to the prior events in the meets and events section. The plan is slopeside condos again as far as I know. There is a pretty big contingent from NY/NJ that attend.
As far as terrain is concerned, Jay blows Stratton away so you will not be disappointed there. Jay typically gets more snow, but you never know what you are going to get in New England planning a trip this far in advance. However, I will say, the meet has had very good luck with conditions in late Feb/early March over the last six events. MysticFalcon is the local expert on Jay and usually chimes in on the Jay threads. Given the dump they just got, he may still be boarding this late in the season. |

One suggestion I can offer is that you need to bring a full complement of clothing. Heading to Jay in February takes you into the coldest time of the year. Be sure to take all the warm stuff you own. You may not need it, but there is a strong chance you will. On the other hand you might just get so excited about the slopes that you will never feel the cold. Great eastern mountain that you are going to love. Enjoy.
Get it. Wax it. Ride it. |

I'm surprised I haven't replied to this thread yet.
Jay was the first BIG hill I went to back in the late 80's. Since then I've been for 4-5 trips there over the years. Of course weather is always in question at ANY resort, but I've had good conditions on every trip to Jay. Even when some of the upper runs were iced up, there was powder to be found in the trees. If the wind is blowing, the green mountain flyer gets COLD. Some of the glades are very well protected from the wind, so that's the place to go when it's cold. I've had a great time every trip. It's a low key mountain, with good locals. |
